The Different Rooms of the House
In each of your rooms, you should have three primary goals:
-
Depersonalize the room by taking away family pictures, removing everything from your refrigerator and other similar surfaces, and taking posters and trophies out of kids’ rooms.
-
Clear away high-traffic areas of excess furnishings and other belongings, to give the highest impression of space and comfort.
-
Highlight the primary features of every room, making sure that they have not been hidden or obscured by furnishings, plants, or other belongings. Such primary features include:
-
Fireplaces
-
French doors
-
Tubs with jets
